I’ll leave this for others to chime in. But you may find useful information in one of the homelab communities as well.

I have implemented what you’re looking for using Immich on my wife’s iPhone.
Immich backs up the “Recents” album - which means it backs up everything. What’s important to remember is that it backs it up, not syncs it. This allows me to delete photos from the iPhone and they stay in the Immich library. This is how I keep my wife’s phone from running out of storage.
Works well for us so far, even if I have to manually delete the photos off the phone from time to time.
While this post is in support of a self-hosting platform, the request itself is storage-related. I would recommend that you reach out to https://lemmy.world/c/zfs or https://discourse.practicalzfs.com.
For troubleshooting, I would recommend you visit the Plex Discord/Matrix channels for real-time help. Additionally, !plex@lemmy.ca may prove helpful.
